DUG

Got my NM elk tag today. How do you attach it to the animal? Do you lick the back like a stamp? It doesn't seem to have a backing like AZ tags do.

It sucks that you can't even go out to eat and there is someone around to mess with your truck. If I have a gun in my vehicle someone stays with the truck or it is always in sight if we go in somewhere. I had to leave my FJ unlocked in Flagstaff because the dog was in it and setting off the alarm. I made sure I was only about 4 seconds from the truck if one of those hobos tried to take anything.

TJ, she has a 6A jr. elk tag and we put her in for the 23 jr. deer hunt. She will be a busy girl this fall. Looks like you and your Dad should have a memorable elk hunt too.

Great story TJ. I'm sure your Dad is thankful he has you, too. I took my 11 year old daughter to the Hunter Education field day at Rio Salado Sportmans Club on Sunday. She did the online course for the last 3 weeks and passed all her tests. She got her patch and diploma and soon she will have her permanent bonus point.

I think it's between coats.

Nice! Looks like you're doing it right. You can never kill too many.

We were using the wifes .243 BAR. Cheapo Fed. 80 grain bullet.

I've seen these pics. but i was told it was in CO. But who cares those are nice fat elk.

Our prayers are with you and them.

I just got an E-mail saying I drew unit 9 archery either sex. Anyone know unit 9??????

I forget.... I think 6A and 9 north of I-40 archery Either sex.

I got into my account with NM and it charged $535 at 3:12 this morning but it says draw result is pending. It also says results available on line Thursday June 11th at 12:01 a.m. Not sure what to think at this point........

Are the results on the NM web site or are you checking your credit card status? I'm at work so it's hard to do both. Andy (elkhutnaz) I'll try to call you later today.

I'm not going to know what to do if I get drawn. My hours at work and pay have been cut since I applied. I'll still go but probably not for the entire season like I hoped. But, I have to get drawn 1st. I got the E-mail last week saying to make sure the credit card you applied with is still valid etc.etc.

Great pics! We have about the same vacation planned as you just did. We are going in July and even going to see the D-Backs play at Coors field. And more than likely driving up in our White Sequoia. How long did you stay up there? Any other places you recommend going? We will be up there about 8 or 9 days.

Just got it today. Thank you sir.

My wife will hold out for something decent. ( 5 point or better). She already said she won't shoot a spike. My son will probably get buck fever and start shooting at the 1st bull elk he sees. ( It's his 1st bull tag) My daughter will hopefully shoot the 1st cow that stands still long enough for her to get off a clean shot. I wil be holding out for the biggest cow I see and hopefully take 1 shot from my bow.

Pm'd you. Wondering if this has shipped yet? Let me know.

Check is in the mail. Thanks!

PM sent to you. Thanks

Awesome pictures. And she had twins. Great stuff.

I'm gonna try that on my next Coues hunt......

My son is doing a High School internship with G&F. He got to go on the trip to see the baby Eagle get banded at Lake Pleasant. Here's some of the pics he took. Rappeling down the cliff. Here is the Dad eagle. He was just hanging out. The Mom was not as reserved. She was flying overhead screeching and wondering what was going on with her baby. Here's the Eaglet The view down to the boat. He said they had quite a hike. They were also joined by a group of Home-schooled kids.

If you get your guide license is it valid until Dec. 31st 2009 or is it one year from issue date?
